Go Ender! Momma would be proud!
"And always Ender carried with ihnm a dry white cocoon.....(Card 324).
Last line: Always gets me. So Ender found his freedom, just how I predicted. Let me take in this moment because I am never right.........
Ender's passion could not be defeated even within physical battle. He knew he was not a violent person and struggled to attain the goodness in his heart. Minus all this galactic science fiction talk, there's a moral to be learned. Don't change or let anyone else change who you are. In the end, when Ender traveled to the different places with his sister, he was giving back and repenting for all he did do wrong.
So I'm a sucker for happy endings...who isn't?
So hypothetically, when all of humanity is wrong, how do you fix it? Ender makes up for his wrong doings and from what we have read, wouldn't that be great if mankind in reality could do that? Our leaders in today's world are too egotistical to notice the difference....(oops) but if galactic Salamander fighters can resist violence over who they really are, everything would be much more peaceful....but we don't live in a fictional world...at least I don't think.

Go Tiff for predicting that Ender would gain his freedom. I know that the last line of the book really got me as well. I'm actually planning on reading the sequel to Ender's Game, Speaker for the Dead. I simply need to find the time; probably won't till summer though. I thought it very eloquent that at the end of the book that Ender seemed to be trying to atone for the heinous games that he had been forced to play against the Buggers. Left to his own devices, it's more than likely that he would never have become anything like the good little soldier that he was raised to be. Unfortunately, even as we may wish to undo or sooth the wrongs of the past, the present becomes the future all too quickly.
It is great when Ender tries to fix the mistakes mankind made. Couldn't have been a better end.
